Yeah, I've not seen the Elm Street 'reboot' (such a pretentious word for remake) since what I have seen of it, trailers and photos and whatnot, were decidedly underwhelming. I thought Haley almost had the right sort of face to carry it off but how can you beat a class act like Robert Englund? (Incidentally, when I first saw an ELm Street film, Freddy's Revenge for the record, I had troulble seeing Englund as anything other than Willy from V; now it's the other way round). I don't think it's too controversial to say that the Elm Street franchise went careering off the rails as it went on, probably way past its welcome, but the original concept stands up there with classic movie monsters such as Dracula, Adam (the Frankenstein Monster) and the Mummy.
